Veteran Care

Many senior veterans struggle with health issues and disabilities that make it difficult for them to live independently. In-home care services can provide them with the assistance they need to maintain their independence and quality of life.

By ensuring that our senior veterans receive the care and support they need, we can help them to live their lives to the fullest, surrounded by the love and support of their families and communities.

A Custom Care Plan Based on Your Needs

Right at Home Chicago's professional caregiving team will work with you to create a customized care plan based on your personal needs and match you with a caring and compatible caregiver. All of our caregivers are insured and bonded, and go through rigorous interviews, background checks, and professional training to ensure they meet our high standards of service and compassion. Right at Home provides the right care, when and where you need it.

Two Veterans Standing Shoulder to Shoulder

Right at Home Chicago Metro is Proud to Offer the Following In Home Care Services to Veterans:

Communication

We communicate with your healthcare providers on a regular basis to ensure your recovery is progressing as expected and notify them of any changes in your condition to head off any potential complications.

Discharge assistance

We get you home from the hospital, settled in and comfortable, so you can get started healing.

Medication reminders

Managing new medications is an important part of your recovery. Our caregivers make sure you take the medication you need, when you need it.

Transportation

If getting to the pharmacy, grocery store or appointments is a challenge, your recovery could be at risk. We provide transportation to get you where you need to be, so you can stay where you want to be: right at home.

Coordinate appointments

After a hospitalization, there can be a flurry of new appointments. Whether you need follow-up appointments with your general practitioner, a new specialist or a physical therapist, count on us to help you keep it all organized.

Meal preparation

Nutritious meals are vital to a successful recovery. If you have been prescribed a new diet, let us help. Our caregivers prepare nutritious meals for any diet — even special diets for conditions such as diabetes or congestive heart failure.

Housework

Your focus is on your recovery, not housework. Our caregivers take care of typical daily chores, such as vacuuming, washing dishes and cleaning the bathroom.

Safety

You may be a little unsteady on your feet as you regain your strength. We can help prevent falls and assist you with movement and walking.

Hygiene

Bathing, dressing and toileting can be difficult. Let our caregivers help you maintain your independence while recovering.
